Today, we'd like to thank everyone who has participated in our autism research studies. We believe in societal acceptance, equity, and inclusion of neurodiverse individuals and we hope that our research will shed light on what makes each brain unique. #AutismAcceptance

Eager to pack it all in this summer? Don't forget to #SlowYourRoll since mental rest is good for your brain, as The New York Times reminds us in citing Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, Joanna Christodoulou & Vanessa Singh's 2012 study. #CandleUSC #MentalHealth nytimes.com/2021/05/14/wel…
